John,

Donald Trump isn’t hiding it anymore. He’s bragging about unchecked power — and it’s terrifying.

In a Friday morning interview, he said:

“We have actually more power in DC. I can change the mayor if I want. I can do whatever I want.”

“One thing I say is we have to have quick trials. I called it quick trial. ’Cause in China they do have quick trials, you know? … They should have a trial the following day.”

Let’s be clear: this is authoritarianism in plain sight.

He’s claiming he could remove an elected mayor at will. He’s fantasizing about fast-tracking trials like China — eliminating due process and shredding the Constitution.

These moments are getting buried in this week's insane news cycle, but we cannot look away. We have to make sure EVERYONE sees this. The slow coup is speeding up — and Trump is openly laying out his dictatorship playbook.

No Dem Left Behind is fighting back with everything we’ve got. We’re investing in the toughest races — places where democracy is under siege and MAGA thinks no one’s watching. But we can’t do this alone. Chip in $20, $10, or whatever you can to help us stop Trump’s authoritarian agenda and defend democracy — before it’s too late.
